2 Kings 21:3

Manasseh Reigns in Judah

1 Manasseh ^awas twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hephzibah.

2 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, ^aaccording to the abominations of the nations whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel.

3 For he rebuilt the¹ high places ^awhich Hezekiah his father had destroyed; he raised up altars for Baal, and made a wooden image, ^bas Ahab king of Israel had done; and he ^cworshiped all the host of heaven and served them.

4 ^aHe also built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, ^b“In Jerusalem I will put My name.”

5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the ^atwo courts of the house of the Lord.

6 ^aAlso he made his son pass through the fire, practiced ^bsoothsaying, used witchcraft, and consulted spiritists and mediums. He did much evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger.
